Pam and Lee celebrated their big day at Swarkestone in a Sami Tipi. Pam works in branding so I knew straight away that their wedding would be super creative, fun and funky. And wow, what a stylish wedding it was, the tipi looked amazing with a classic vintage feel with a bath tub filled with drinks, menus printed on the table runners and Pam’s delicious homemade gin – yummy!

They wanted a menu that suited them as a couple and the style of the day to a T and I had loads of fun creating their menu. It was relaxed, interactive but most importantly damn tasty!
From the tapas style rock’n’ rollers to the dry-ice Ice cream buffet, it all worked so well.

What the lovely couple told us:
“Thomas the Caterer was the only caterer for us, we were wow’d from the offset with his creativity and the beautifully fused ingredients. The time was taken to understand who we were, what we’re about and what our tastes were – from that Thomas created a bespoke menu just for us (talk about feeling special). Nothing about our food felt ‘off the shelf’ or ‘boring’, it was us and exactly what we wanted the day to be about. Throughout our wedding planning the whole team were on hand to help in any way necessary, even up to the wire of the day of the wedding – nothing was too much trouble. This was the best and easiest decision we made for our wedding.”
